Making the Connection - 

Student Wellness and Healthy Housing in York County

Rev. Mike Lengel - Chair, Homelessness Subgroup of Policy Council with Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania

I am an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) currently on leave from call. At my previous congregation, I helped found a community coalition to address homelessness in the area. Through this work, I discovered a deep passion for addressing the housing and homelessness crisis. I am currently serving as a Housing Counselor with ACLAMO Family Centers in Norristown, PA. I am helping families who have fallen behind on rent and utilities because of COVID-19

Shaniece Brown is a senior Mass Communications and English double-major at Lincoln University. She serves as the President of the Gendaga Bimbisha Tabu Chapter at Lincoln University of Pennsylvania. Her passion is spoken word poetry and with this passion she also serves as the President of ISPIT, the spoken word poetry club on campus.
